where are the critics choice awards held

The Critics Choice Awards are currently held at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California.

Main venue now

• Recent ceremonies, including the 29th and 31st Critics Choice Awards, have been staged at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

• The 30th Critics Choice Awards were also scheduled and promoted as taking place at Barker Hangar after earlier venue shifts, reinforcing it as the main home base in recent years.

Brief history of locations

• In earlier years, the show used other Los Angeles–area venues, including the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and the Hollywood Palladium, before transitioning to Barker Hangar for multiple editions.

• The event remains a Los Angeles–area awards show, but Barker Hangar has become the signature setting for the modern Critics Choice Awards era.
